Miley Cyrus cracks jokes after wardrobe malfunction during New Year's Eve performance
Singer performed a number of songs during the televised end-of-year event
Miley Cyrus has joked about experiencing a public wardrobe malfunction during a New Year's Eve party.
The singer appeared on NBC's special end-of-year telecast, which was co-hosted by Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
Cyrus performed her 2009 hit "Party in the USA" during the broadcast, but was seen at one point clutching her silver top and turning her back to camera.
Covering her torso with her hands, Cyrus then walked offscreen while the band continued playing.
Some time later, she reappeared wearing a red coat.

"Everyone's definitely looking at me now," she joked, to viewers, while continuing to sing.
"I'm still in the most clothes that I've ever worn on stage."
Viewers shared on social media how impressed they were with Cyrus's handling of the slip-up, with one person describing her response as "seamless".
"Man, if we all handle our setbacks as coolly as Miley handled that wardrobe malfunction, it might actually be a decent year," wrote one Twitter user.
"Girl didn't miss a beat or skip a t** and STILL delivered," wrote another.
Clips from the NBC New Year's Eve special can be streamed now on YouTube.

Those precious weeks off in the summer were without a doubt the highlight of any year before we hit the age of 18 and made it to uni. Now, they're the feared and dreaded weeks of…*gulp*…having to move back in with your parents, letting your liver try and reset to a semi-healthy state. If you're having withdrawal symptoms from university life, chances are you're definitely not the only one. We've put a list of 11 signs that it's about time you got yourself back to uni before you do yourself some damage.
All the nutrients are having a strange affect on your body, as is a half normal body clock. Your skins looking better and you're seeing more daylight. It seems like a decent sleeping pattern and a home-cooked meal does actually have its benefits! Who knew?
You always thought your home-town was a little boring but never realised the extent until you moved back after city living. If you're looking at your freshers week calendar day in day out, impatiently waiting until your escape from home, don't worry, you're not alone! University students all around the country are skyping housemates 5 times a day to keep them updated about all the UV and foam parties they've got planned.
How anyone wants to happily do your temporary job for their whole life is beyond you. You want out. Now. You've had a taste of a different way of life and reverting back to your old ways is not what you want on the menu. The only reason you haven't quit? The fact you'd then have to spend even longer at home!
You miss your cheap Wednesday nights out on the tiles, even if those tiles do super-glue to your shoes. And even though walking through countless spilt Jagerbombs sounds rather grim, you can't help miss it! There's also something about the tequila back home – it's just not the same!
This is fine of course, but you'll take ramen noodles or cold baked beans any day over dirty nappies and 3am feeds. Even worse, there's always that one person who's somehow managed to get a mortgage and can't stop talking about it. Yawn.
Like the small matter of where you're going to live next year and how you're going to get electricity and gas when returning to study. Oh and what's that thing someone mentioned? Council tax? What's that? Can we stay in student halls forever please?!
It's impossible to tell who is getting on whose nerves more, so it's probably time you left again. If you're going to stay in bed til 4pm and binge-watch your new favourite Netflix show, you want to do so without judgement!
You can't quite believe you've managed to survive without your 4am chats and lazy days with endless cups of tea. You're that bored you're even considering cracking on with your reading list for the year. Oh, wait a second, you still haven't got through your second run of Breaking Bad season 7. The books can wait.
Do you find you're irrationally disappointed that your time left at home hasn't substantially decreased since the last time you looked… three hours ago? There will have been moments in first year where you decided you hated student halls but you can't understand that now. You miss the chaos!
After all, unpacking just leads to packing again…right? You'd rather live out of a suitcase, as it reminds you that you won't be stuck at home forever.
They're also not very good at pretending they're interested anymore, too. In fact, you've probably been told to shut up about your uni's nightlife. It's obviously true that it's better than at home but your friends who are still there can't hack hearing it. At the same time, you can't hack nights out in the only club for miles, bumping into everyone you've ever known – your mum's best mate, your nan, your old creepy head of year. Back to uni we go.
What are your favourite things about returning to Uni? Let us know in the comments!


I have been a long time proponent of wood construction, especially in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Our history is so deeply rooted in the forestry industry that building with any other material could be considered a form of industrial-cultural sacrilege.
My new passive house project at 15 Dufferin Road – 205 Crichton Street will be built in two phases. The first phase involves the construction of a new 2,000 square foot home on an infill lot within a heritage conservation district. In the second phase a 1,200 square foot second floor addition will be added to an existing single story home built in 1945. The project will be certified to the Passive House and LEED Platinum standards.
The most notable thing about the otherwise unremarkable piece of architecture found on the site is the fact that it was built with masonry when most other homes were (and still are) built with wood. (The home's walls are built using 10″ blocks below grade and 7.75″ block with 4″ brick above grade.) This fact motivated me to consider alternatives to the new pre-manufactured wood wall assembly I had intended to use.
what materials are used to make the assembly impermeable.
Although one might attribute different weighting to the factors I list here, more often than not, wood is my preferred building material (above grade in residential construction). Notwithstanding my opinion of concrete versus wood, I chose to build my current passive house project using steel reinforced concrete insulated within expanded polyurethane forms (EPS). Why? Well, I do believe in the adage: Don't knock it until you've tried it. Until now, I have never been involved in a project that uses concrete (poured on site, in blocks or in panels) from the footings to the roof. (I have done quite a few basements using a variety of insulated concrete forms, also known as ICF.) Projects that I plan, design and build for myself provide me with the opportunity to try things that I have not done before. As a result, I am in a position to make recommendations to clients based on personal experience.
The most significant difficulty in designing and in constructing better built buildings in a northern climate are the challenges associated with air sealing the building envelope, especially where different materials intersect. The actual construction is made increasingly difficult as temperatures fall below freezing, since products used to seal joints become more difficult to apply effectively. These two points influenced my choice of building materials because my project was to be a winter-build.
the wall is monolithic and impermeable – it does not require tape, caulking, adhesive or additional membranes to become airtight.


Promponas is the landmark of Naxos holding a long tradition in the production of wine, liqueur and a variety of other local products that the island is famous for. Promponas winery was founded in 1915 producing the best local Naxos liqueur Kitron.
The liqueur comes from the fruit and leaves of the citron tree leaves that belong to the same family as the lemon tree, although, it takes out a more piquant taste and flavor. For almost a century Promponas uses the same traditional method preserving the original flavor and taste of the island's local drink. Out of a huge collection of citron leaves they choose carefully the ones used to produce their liqueurs. The store also offers a great selection of wines made from a special variety of grapes known for their strong flavor. There have both red and white wines produced in different mountainous regions of Naxos and actually Promponas is the only one to produce bottled wines in the island.
The fertile soil of Naxos offers great varieties of fruits used to make spoon sweets reviving the traditional recipes that their ancestors used. The sweets are made without chemicals thus they are preserved for a longtime in syrup. Promponas offers many treats that you can buy as a gift for your loved ones. The shop is located on the waterfront just a few meters from the main port.

President Picker: Obama to McCain: See You Friday Dude!
Obama to McCain: See You Friday Dude!
This was a bold play by McCain but since he waited until the last minute he's on *very* thin ice arguing that he's got no place attending the most anticipated presidential debate in history. His proposal to delay the Palin Biden debate - a duel that is almost as interesting to the public as the McCain Obama debate - will only add to the speculation that this is a political rather than bipartisan presidential play.
Suggesting that McCain will debate Obama if congress enacts a plan by Friday seems unlikely to do more than complicate and confuse the many issues at hand and offer the Democrats a type of dysfunctional control over McCain's plans.
If Obama is sitting on the stage Friday without McCain it is unlikely to bode well for McCain unless Obama makes the mistake of saying something outrageous which is unlikely. In fact the imagery of John McCain wandering around D.C. trying to broker a deal with a congress that is mostly hostile to his candidacy would not appear to paint a pretty campaign picture.

Madison Square Garden Reviews
November 15, 2007 —by VHND Leave a Comment
November 13, 2007 – Madison Square Garden
From Rolling Stone:
There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical walking into last night's Van Halen concert at New York's Madison Square Garden. In no particular order: founding bassist Michael Anthony has been kicked to the curb in favor of Eddie Van Halen's sixteen-year-old son Wolfgang, David Lee Roth's vocals have sounded more than a bit shaky in recent years and Ed has done little in these past few years except go to rehab and write scores for porn flicks. Yet when the curtain dropped and the band burst into a note-perfect "You Really Got Me" it became clear this was somehow going to work.
It was hard to know where to look first when the show began: a shockingly well-preserved Ed ripping into his guitar, Dave frantically waving a red flag and grinning like a killer clown or Wolfgang, standing confidently on the side of the stage, playing a set consisting entirely of songs written at least seven years before he was born. Ultimately Dave — who reveled in every moment onstage — won out. His voice didn–t sound like it was still 1984, but his vocals were significantly stronger than we'd expected. His signature karate kicks weren't as high as they used to be and he flubbed his share of lyrics (you'd think he'd at least remember "Pretty Woman"), but his boundless enthusiasm made up for everything.
From 1985 until 2004 Van Halen fans had to wade through endless Sammy Hagar (or, worse, Gary Cherone) songs to get to a handful of Roth-era classics — and even when they came, some other guy was singing them. It was barely tolerable, but it was the only Van Halen we had. On this tour, the events from 1985 to the present have been erased. What remains are what Dave has called "favorites that you've been hearing tearing out of the back of a pick-up at the Burger King drive-thru for how many summertimes." The only problem was that the arena sound system sounded like it was composed of 10,000 pick-up trucks taken from the Burger King drive-thru. Maybe it was just where we were sitting (directly on the side of the stage) but the sound managed to be both ludicrously loud and muffled. Roth's vocals were often buried. Did Eddie replace the sound guy with his six-year-old nephew Timmy Van Halen?
Shitty sound aside, it's hard to complain about a show featuring Roth and Eddie Van Halen doing two hours of "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," "Panama," "Hot for Teacher" and lesser-known gems like "Atomic Punk" and "I'm the One." Sure, firing Anthony was a shitty move that made the whole evening feel less momentous. But if putting his son onstage is the only way to get Eddie back out there playing these songs, so be it. This is the only Van Halen being offered and it's better than anything they've given us since the first Reagan administration.
From Variety:
Clean. Well-oiled. Smooth. These aren't words one would have associated with the first coming of the David Lee Roth-fronted Van Halen, but they were the first adjectives that came to mind when the band took to Madison Square Garden's stage on its much-anticipated reunion tour.
Professionalism is, of course, nothing to be sneezed at, but the members of Van Halen — with the exception of Eddie Van Halen's bass-playing teenage son, Wolfgang, recruited to replace the unceremoniously dumped Michael Anthony — played their assigned parts so close to the vest this evening as to make a skeptic wonder if they'd been replaced by animatronic doubles.
Roth played up his ringmaster shtick from the opening chords of an undeniably powerful version of "You Really Got Me," and while there were moments when he recaptured the Borscht Belt-meets Sunset Strip-vivacity of his first stint with the band, the singer's moves had something of a by-the-book feel to them.
Roth's singing voice, however, was in top form. Often underrated as a vocalist, he showed off his full range here, segueing easily from crisp pop tenor (the mortar that held together a soaring "Jamie's Crying") to lustful faux-blues growl (the linchpin of a gritty "Somebody Get Me a Doctor").
Eddie Van Halen held up his end of the bargain much of the time, strafing songs like "Atomic Punk" and "Runnin' With the Devil" with bracing and acrobatic lead lines. The non-stop barrage of technique got in the way on more than one occasion, however, putting an unneeded spin on what should've been a straightforward "Hot for Teacher" and sidetracking an otherwise spot-on "Pretty Woman" (on which Roth and Wolfgang traded vocals affably).
The 16-year-old bassist acquitted himself more effectively than naysayers might've expected, plowing through the classics with a hereditary flashiness — a marked change from the more brutish, to-the-point playing of his predecessor — particularly on a stinging encore version of "1984."
While Wolfgang didn't take a solo turn, both his father and uncle took their customary extended showcases. Those interludes — tailored for diehards in the first place — seemed particularly superfluous at this perf, given the lack of genuine interaction the musicians displayed during the songs that surrounded them. Granted, resurrecting the gang mentality of bygone days would seem a bit disingenuous at this point in Van Halen's history, but a little bit of sparring would've added a few welcome twists to the overly straight path they're navigating on this trek.
From New York Post:
VAN HALEN'S reunion concert last night at Madison Square Garden could have been the next storyline for the "Back to the Future" movie franchise.
One of the most popular band's of the '80s takes a time machine to 2007 to play their old songs for a new generation. That was this deja-vu-all-over-again concert from start to finish. Every song was at least 20 years old, while singer David Lee Roth and guitarist Eddie Van Halen looked youthful (especially if you squinted a little).
The music was still smokin' hot and not far off the mark from the way you remember it sounding on vinyl: loud and raw, like a party waiting to happen.
The biggest difference between now and the bad old days, when Van Halen was really young, was the absence of anger. Clenched teeth were traded for smiles during this two-hour, 20-plus-song love fest, in which band and fans alike found renewed appreciation for dusty tunes,
Roth clowned his way through the set, with stage gags like hanging his hat off his zipper (more Velcro than arousal) and wielding his mike stand like a ninja warrior. If you let that distract you, you might not notice just how good he sounds backed by his original partners.
As for Eddie's guitar work, there are few – young or old – who can rip a lead as cleanly and sure-fingered as this 52-year-old.
So, Eddie can really play his ax, and between head-high kicks and kung fu antics, David Lee can really sing. If there was any tension last night, it was only in determining who hit harder during the first few songs.
On the opener and cover of the Kinks classic "You Really Got Me," Roth was commanding. He looked buff in his ringmaster's jacket and stitched leather pants, and he was the total applause hound, bowing deeply to the crazed fans. "Running with the Devil" played a little slow for some tastes.
Drummer Alex Van Halen, as always, was the rock that anchored every song, and Eddie's son Wolfgang mumbled, thumped his bass well, and did a pretty fair job of singing a cover of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman."
Roth described the band as "three-quarter original," with 16-year-old Wolfgang as the "one-fourth inevitable." Who knew Diamond Dave could do fractions?
The lowest-common-denominator tune had to be "Hot For Teacher." It was made sexy by Roth's delivery, and Eddie Van Halen's boogie guitar riffs made the crowd shimmy.
If there was any complaint about the show, it was how the sequencing of the set has remained static since the tour opener a couple of months ago. The band should consider mixing the tunes up a little to keep it as interesting for themselves as for the fans.

Fair Warning He only had a couple of misses in '15 when I saw them which for a live two hour show is not a big deal for any singer. I agree '12 was a little more harsh and 07/08 was very good.

RocknronVH Ed was completely 'effortless' on the 08 tour. Ungodly.
chargerhemi I guess. He was a little better. I'm a big bootleg guy and I love most of the 07/08 shows. Mostly 08 after Ed got his shit together. Watching the 12 & 15 shows don't do much for me after 6-7...

Uncharted 2 Dominates October, Brutal Legend Sells Well
November 12, 2009 John-Shepard — 41 Comments
In a month that saw the industry shrink by an overall percentage of 19%, Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a very bright spot for Sony, which saw PS3 sales fall 35% in October after the September price cut sparked a sales surge.
According to the official NPD numbers for last month, it didn't take long for the best-reviewed game of the year to crack the 1 million barrier. Uncharted 2 launched on October 13 so it took a little over two weeks for the game to crack Platinum status, as confirmed by Sony's senior vice-president of strategic business development, Phil Rosenberg. The numbers for the original Uncharted are pathetic in comparison but let's not forget that two years ago, the PS3 user base was much, much lower. Said Rosenberg:
"Uncharted 2 has become the highest rated current exclusive action adventure game on any platform with a Metacritic score of 96. It's the second highest rated PS3 game ever. We've already sold over a million copies through last week in just a couple weeks on the market."
And for all you metal fans out there, Tim Schafer and Double Fine's Brutal Legend managed to sell a very respectable 216,000 copies in the exact same time frame. Considering that it had to battle Uncharted 2 , that isn't a bad number and for once, Schafer may enjoy long-term financial success with Brutal Legend . But it's hardly surprising to learn that Uncharted 2 dominated last month even though we still think it should sell more…hopefully, it'll do well for the holidays. It's a can't-miss experience, plain and simple, and in our eyes, nothing touches it in 2009.

The Naughty Dog Team created a great masterpiece and deserve a well paid vacation.Now that that's out of the way I must say how disappointed I'm with the sales.Is incredible that MW2(no knock towards it)outsold U2 almost 3-1 in one day alone(PS3 version).Almost all of the exclusives for PS3 sell like bad manure(MGS4 is the only exception) while the other console's big exclusives sell like very addicting crack.Regardless I will always enjoy a great game even if it sells 5 copies.

That has me worried more and more… Seems the PS3 exclusives can't sell decent numbers 🙁
Here is hopping GT5 opens the flood gates and sell like a gazillion copies in a few days.

HeXeN, exactly what I always thought. PS3 owners don't support their exclusives. 🙁
Fane1024
5 of the 10 top-selling PS3 games are exclusives (and 8 of 20 and 11 of 30).
By contrast, only 4 of the top 10 360 games are exclusives (and 7 of 20 and 9 of 30).
PS3 owners DO support exclusives.
And the sales numbers for each are roughly comparable (per console sold).

I can't believe how few Uncharted 2 has sold.
Ok, so it is not a total embarrassment by any means, and I am sure Naughty Dog has popped quite a few champagne bottles over the success they are having with this game. But I feel for Naughty Dog that they put out THE game experience of 2009, only to have MW2 come out with a 5 to 6 hour campaign, and sell 3.3 million on the PS3. OUCH!!
I loved the first Uncharted, and from my experience with the first game it made getting the second game a must. That must be what has kept many from purchasing it, they never played the first, and don't have the attachment that I have to the character. I think many still want to buy the game, but they are going to wait until the price comes down. Or since the first Uncharted came down in price, maybe a lot will finally pickup that game, play it, then pickup number 2.

Before this goes any further, you just can't compare Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2. The latter is a unique beast in the world of games. It just appeals to the widest possible demographic and online multiplayer is like a staple now.
I think Uncharted 2 is a better game, certainly, and it should sell more on the PS3…but it won't. We just have to live with that.
to_far_apart
Couldn't have said it better myself
Probably not a lot more, but I think the reason the PS3 slim sales slumped in October was that anyone who didn't jump up and buy one in September is waiting to get it for Christmas instead, and if they know anything about games Uncharted 2 will follow suit.

Dutka has spoken!

And that's why UC2 will get my buck this weekend. Can't wait! Experienced the demo and enjoyed the multiplayer a lot! Just wondering, for the actual game does it take a long time to set up matches, or was that only in the demo?
goodgamer
wher ar the # at?
ace_boon_coon
it's at 1.5 million right now. i think that pretty good. and we still have the holiday rush to look forward to.
Ever since the Slim came out, I noticed Uncharted 1 is still consistently selling 20k copies a week. The 160 fat PS3 bundle is no longer in production, which means those are not game bundles. People actually paid for the first game after playing the sequel. I'm sure Uncharted 2 will consistently sell through for the next two years like its predecessor.
I'm assuming the 1st highest rated PS3 game was MGS4?
I wouldn't worry too much if you plan on comparing MW2 to U2 because Uncharted is still a young franchise, it will probably double its sales with each sequel.
I'm so afraid for "The Last Guardian"… If Uncharted 2 sold that little, I don't want to think how poorly they might do 🙁
I will do the same thing I did with Ico and SotC, buy it as gift to all my friends and family who own a PS3.
i really hope ND actually go and make a PSP game now.
be that a uncharted game, or something else i dont care, just something for the psp would be nice.
but MW2 is the 2nd most over rated game in history, first being GTAIV.
i mean it leaves so much to be desired.
it starts off with a band, sets you on fire with the snow level from E3 and then after that its slow smooth sailing.
its like going from the superman ride the worlds fastest roller coaster to the tunnel of love.
i really dont understand why IW did that, its like they ran out of ideas or something.
talk about a one trick pony.

I always thought Halo was the number 1 overhyped game, but MW2, to be exact, might be more.
Actually if you compare the two MW2 is obviously the better game and the fact that it's mult-platform, so yes, I think Halo is still the number one hyped up game.
I still think this because many Xbots are still using the Halo franchise as a reason alone to get the 360 over the ps3, regardless of how many better fps games there are. People still just talk about how great it is for some reason, despite its flaws and the fact it released awhile ago.
nah im talking media hype.
no game has been hyped like MW2.
others i can understand because there good, like KZ2 or uncharted 2 the hype is justified there but MW2?
i seriously cant see what people see in that, but hey 99.999999% of the time i like what most people hate.
i mean most would put uncharted 2 at GOTY me i would put infamous.
most people loved GTAIV and swore it was the second coming of christ, i hated it.
most people hated haze, i loved it.
most of the time, im against the majority, just the way i like it!
Snicket
The PS3 base will be much stronger by the time The Last Guardian comes around. Also was Ratchet and Clank included in the October NPD records?
I think Uncharted 2 will gradually but consistently sell over time. I think there will be the Christmas rush, there will be more of ND's masterpiece given away as gifts… is it not better in the end to have steady sales over a longish period than simply a boom and then a bust?
Uncharted 2 = game of the year
I feel sorry for those sorry asses who own a ps3 and don't own Uncharted 1 and 2
It should be a sin not to own those two awesome games
I'm sorry I have an ass 🙁
I'll get it Christmas though. Or eventually.. just like MW2. Hah
You watch, MW2 will get game of the year all over the place.
frylock25
not here i am callin it right now. game of the year on this site will be uncharted 2. it will probably win a few other catagories as well like graphics.
mmmmmmm no.
infamous = game of the year.
Infamous was f****** fun!
If on that alone…Infamous is a big contender
Man I can't wait for Infamous 2
I really like this franchise, I hope more people buy it, it's such a fun game.
Yeah I'd put it between inFamous and UC2, of course UC2 would win on this site, but I mean elsewhere, where people are ignorant.
just2skillf00l
I believe Naughty Dog and their well-crafted game Uncharted 2 deserves game of the year. If MW2 gets game of the year, I swear I'm gonna be pissed. I don't find anything wrong with milkin' a franchise.
But when a gigantically milked franchise interferes and trys to steals away GOTY from a game like Uncharted 2 simply because it has mass appeal and a history of hype fueling it, yeah…that's when it becomes a problem.
D**m that last sentence/paragraph ran a mile…hehe…guess I got a little emotional.
I agree. If MW2 wins GOTY, it will only be because of its overall sales and popularity, not necessarily the quality and work put into the game, which every GOTY winners should be based on.
We have to give these new franchises time.
I respect Sony's braveness to be producing new IPs and franchises for us PS3 owners, so we have to thank them and some of the developers for truly sticking with the PS3.
Let's just hope it doesn't come to the fact where the sales will change their mind otherwise.
As long as Uncharted 2 beats the expected "2.5 million mark expectations" from Naughty Dog then I'm happy for them.
I'm really losing hope for the gaming industry when MW2 is the most widely recognized game for gamers. Sorry, that's just marketing and hype at it's worst.
tanner1
Uncharted 2 is the best game ive ever played. I enjoyed the 1st one but the 2nd blew it out the water and any other game 'cough Mw2 cough'. Game of the f***ing decade IMO
Snaaaake
Expect this month to be dominated by MW2.
And by the way, the 3.3 instant sale of the PS3's MW2 confirmed that Sony fanboys are pathetic.
Here's why, MS fanboy bash PS3 but they AT LEAST support the 360 by buying the exclusives, Sony fanboy on the other hand bash the 360 and they say they support the PS3 and it's the best, but they do NOT ACTUALLY support the PS3 by buying the exclusives.
For this I have to give credits to 360 fanboys for supporting the system of their choice.
But yes, no matter what they do, fanboys are the lowest in gaming.

That is what it's starting to look like…
I bet Assassins Creed 2 will sell more on the PS3 in the short tern than Uncharted 2 🙁
Is the PS3/Uncharted 2 bundle coming really or not?
Right on!!!
this was posted ealier by FANE1024
pretty intereseting since it doesnt go along with what your trying to say at all.
"5 of the 10 top-selling PS3 games are exclusives (and 8 of 20 and 11 of 30).
And the sales numbers for each are roughly comparable (per console sold)."
I was one of those 500 and some thousand that bought U2 and I have to tell anyone that maybe skeptical about it, you won't regret paying $60 for this masterpiece we call Uncharted2 I can give you my word you'll be wanting more once you beat it.
I'll pass on MW2 hurry up BFBC2
so it's sold over a million copies huh??
which means it's OVER 9000!!!!
lol, sorry, i couldn't help myself 🙂
that made me chuckle. UC2 is an awesome game. I finally got my platinum trophy a couple days ago (which is the first platinum I ever got. gonna write that in my journal 🙂 ) and I'm still playing it.
Really debating on UC2 if I should pick it up before christmas or wait till Boxing day sale. decisions decisions…. Played a few hours the one day I like it better than the first 🙂
Brutal legend was awesome, love that game nice to see those sale figures for that one as well.
mykjessnjr
Great numbers for an exclusive in the first month. Thought it would be better. The other 20+ million PS3 owners are missing out on an epic, visual and storied masterpiece..sad. They must be playing with their eyes closed.


I'd like to emphasize that information may be plenty and folks may want to be helpful, but it doesn't serve the self-reliant angler much to get information of a debatable nature when only you know what you may or may not like. I assume you intend to actually catch fish at Dumbarton :-). Otherwise, apologies for getting you to read all this.
Any Surf Rod that is 10ft and above gives you an advantage when fishing piers because you have more leverage over the fish when the fish gets near the piling. Boat rods rated over 50lbs is not a good choice. Freshwater rods will work if you target smaller fish. You should start out with a spinning reel, and put some mono line on there, the cheapest you can find, I recommend you don't buy line that is rated over 30lbs. The spinning reel should at least have 75 yards of line on it.
Dumbarton has swift moving currents so you want weights over 5oz and you can get sinkers with tail ends that you can bend so the weight will stay on the bottom longer. For hooks 3/0 is a standard size and will accommodate almost all pier species, eagle claw snelled hooks are best when you don't want to tie your own hooks.
A two-ring hoop net around 36inches in diameter with at least 25ft of rope is best for hauling up fish that are too big to pull up by hand.
A small towel to wipe your hands with, bar of soup to remove bait smell, and a tackle box and fill it with extra hooks, terminal tackle like swivels and a spool of extra line.
Anchovy is the universal bait, almost anything will bite anchovy. Frozen anchovy you can cut into chunks and stick them on your hook.
Walmart is an excellent place to buy gear, they have quality gear at excellent prices. If you can find what your looking for you can either shop online or go to discount tackle shops in your area, the cheapest place I know in the bay area is Fishery Supply in San Jose on Story Rd.
If you're located near Dumbarton TNT in Hayward has a wide selection of frozen and live baits, if your old enough to drive a trip to Fishery Supply is well worth it.
Dumbarton is a very long pier so you shouldn't have any problems getting a spot to fish from. The wooden section at the end of the pier is crowded on weekends so if you want a place at the wooden section come early or fish weekdays when people usually have to work.


The Financial Invisibles Report™, a Unifund collaboration, examines how the general population uses credit and pays bills. It aims to shed light on financial invisibles by diving into several issues, including how they handle bill payments and use credit products, and the impact traumatic events have on their financial stability.
To compile the report, PYMNTS surveyed more than 2,000 Americans about their financial habits and circumstances. Our sample demographically mirrors the U.S. population, subdividing it into four financial consumer categories: No Worries, On The Edge, Second Chances and Shut Outs. This categorization allows us to delve deeper into the financial stressors afflicting various segments of the country's population.

Christmas Songs in the Public Domain
Did you know that eleven of the top twenty most covered songs are Christmas songs? Some are new, written less than 100 years ago. Many date back to the 1800s. When selecting songs for your holiday album, it is useful to consider which of these beloved classics are in the public domain and which are copyrighted. Copyrighted songs require permission from the owner; public domain songs require no permission and can save you money on licensing costs. How can you know which holiday classics are in the public domain and which are copyrighted? Read on to learn the answer to this question and more. At the end of the article, we list 78 very popular Christmas songs along with their public domain status.
What is "public domain"?
Public domain is a term for songs where legal copyright protections have expired and no permission from the owner is required to use the work.
What makes a song "in the public domain"?
Any song published before 1924 is in the public domain and does not require licensing for any use. One exception is sound recordings, where public domain status is handled differently from songs (compositions). Currently no sound recordings are in the public domain in the United States. Also, publishers often copyright new arrangements of public domain works. Even if the song itself is public domain, if you play from a copyrighted sheet music arrangement, you need permission.
How can you know for sure that a song is public domain?
The easiest and best way to know for sure whether a song is in the public domain is to submit it to us for a free search. We research the public domain status of the song for you so that you can be one hundred percent certain. If the work is in the public domain, we will tell you and you won't have to get a license. If it is copyrighted, we can help you get the permission you need to distribute your recording legally.
How can you research public domain status yourself?
First, try searching Wikipedia for the song title plus the word "song" at the end. For example, if you want to search the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun", enter the search phrase "Here Comes the Sun Song". This will help you find the Wikipedia song page. There, you can find the year the song was published. If the publication date is before 1924, if the song has no composer, or if it is a folk song, the song is likely in the public domain. If you cannot find the song in Wikipedia, you can also try searching the databases at PDInfo.com, CPDL.org, and cyberhymnal.org. Finally, Google is also a good resource. As long as you can find solid evidence that the song was published before 1924, you are clear.
What must you do if a song is not in the public domain?
If you want to record a song that is not public domain you need a mechanical license. A mechanical license allows you to legally distribute your recording of a copyrighted song you did not write (cover song). Reputable manufacturers will require Proof of Licensing before they make your CDs.
How do you get a mechanical license?
We can help you get a mechanical license to legally record your version of any song legally in 1-2 business days. To start, we simply need some information about your project and about the song you want to use. You can submit that information to us online, or you can call us at 1-800-360-5192.
Do you need a mechanical license for public domain songs?
No. You can submit your entire song list to us and we will research the public domain status for you. If we find a song to be in the public domain you will not have to pay anything. If you already purchased your licenses, we will refund the entire amount paid for any public domain songs.
Which Christmas songs are in the public domain?
Below are three lists. First is a list of 78 Christmas songs along with the year of publication and public domain status. The second list separates out the public domain Christmas songs. The third list shows only the copyrighted Christmas songs that are not in the public domain.

Aromatic Plants Impact Factor
The impact factor of Aromatic Plants journal is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. The impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information Aromatic Plants Impact factors are calculated yearly starting from 2013 for those journals that are indexed in the Journal Citation Reports. A journal can adopt editorial policies to increase its impact factor. For example, journals may publish a larger percentage of review articles which generally are cited more than research reports. Thus review articles can raise the impact factor of the journal and review journals will therefore often have the highest impact factors in their respective fields. Some journal editors set their submissions policy to "by invitation only" to invite exclusively senior scientists to publish "citable" papers to increase the journal impact factor. Journals may also attempt to limit the number of "citable items"—i.e., the denominator of the impact factor equation either by declining to publish articles that are unlikely to be cited or by altering articles in hopes that Thomson Scientific will not deem it a "citable item". As a result of negotiations over whether items are "citable", impact factor variations of more than 300% have been observed. Interestingly, items considered to be uncitable and thus are not incorporated in impact factor calculations can, if cited, still enter into the numerator part of the equation despite the ease with which such citations could be excluded. This effect is hard to evaluate, for the distinction between editorial comment and short original articles is not always obvious. For example, letters to the editor may refer to either class.

I am a historian of East Central European political and cultural thought. In many ways, I am the product of the unique intellectual atmosphere of CEU, not only in institutional sense, but also in terms of representing the generation of Eastern European historians who came to maturity after 1989, seeking to transcend the traditional nation-centered frameworks of scholarship and to come to terms with the multiple layers of intertwining pasts in the region, placing all this into a common European framework. Both my Ph.D. dissertation (which sought to compare the Hungarian and British discourses of collective identity in the early-modern period, looking at the "discourses of nationhood" before modern nationalism) and my subsequent research on the discourses of historicity and national specificity in interwar Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary in the context of the changing European cultural and political atmosphere after 1918, were based on a synoptic perspective seeking to reconstruct the East Central European intellectual phenomena in a multi-layered comparative setting.
Taking the opportunity of this regional opening, and also assuming the task of facilitating the dialogue of historical traditions which apparently conflicted with each other, from the very beginning of my studies I aimed at developing a comparative and transnational expertise. Being situated in a peculiar regional framework of overlapping national projects, this trans-national embeddedness has a double direction: on the one hand, the need to compare and "negotiate" cases within the region and, on the other hand, to compare the region to Western European an global contexts. Thus, in the last decade and a half I participated in many research projects concerning the comparative history of Central and Southeast-European political discourses in a broader framework. The research ventures where I was among the initiators, such as Regional Identity Discourses in Central and Southeast Europe (1775-1945); We, the People: Visions of National Peculiarity and Political Modernities in the Europe of Small Nations; The Intellectual History of Patriotism and the Legacy of Composite States in East-Central Europe; Regimes of Historicity and Discourses of Modernity and Identity in East-Central, Southeast and Northern Europe, 1900-1945; and European Regions and Boundaries. A Conceptual History, broadened my horizons of comparative research and also gave me a rich experience of participating in and managing collaborative projects. My most formative experience of transnational research was the European Research Council project "Negotiating Modernity": History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe (www.negotiating.cas.bg) which I coordinated for 5 years. The principal aim of this project was creating a synthetic overview of the history of modern political thought in East Central Europe based on a diachronic analysis especially sensitive to transnational discursive phenomena (e.g. the ideological traditions transcending national borders such as liberalism, socialism, conservatism, federalism), and being equally open to supra-national and sub-national (regional) frameworks, where different national projects were interacting. The first volume resulting from this project, History of Modern Political Thought in East Central Europe. Volume I: Negotiating Modernity in the "Long Nineteenth Century," https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-history-of-modern-political-thought-in-east-central-europe-9780198737148?cc=hu&lang=en& came out in March 2016.
As for teaching, I have been offering a series of courses drawing on the results of the transnational projects I have been involved in, such as mapping the period of 'National Revivals' in Central and Southeast-Europe, analyzing the emergence and modalities of "Political Modernity" as well as the anti-modernist ideological trends of the interwar period. In addition, I have taught a number of classes linked to methodological questions, both on graduate and postgraduate levels, ranging from introductory courses on interdisciplinary methodologies, through one on the historiographical debates on ethnicity and nationhood in pre-modern and modern contexts, to the analysis of various paradigms of intellectual history that emerged in the region during the communist and post-communist periods. Last but not least, I have an interest in the history of alternative culture in the region and for years we have been offering with Gábor Klaniczay a course on counter-cultural movements in East-Central Europe during "late socialism", which went beyond the conventional format of historical seminars and opened the classroom to multimedia (film screenings, music, theatre, exhibitions) sources.

Marsha Blackburn Report: This Week From Tennessee – September 15th, 2019
Washington, D.C. – The attacks on September 11th, 2001, reminded Americans that our country is not immune to the threat of terror. But, in the days that followed, the American people proved that a united nation is stronger than a divided one.
On the 18th anniversary of 9/11, my Senate colleagues and I spoke on the Senate floor to honor the memory of the victims and heroes of that tragic day. May we never forget their lives nor the renewed spirit of patriotism and unity that helped rebuild this great country to become stronger than ever.
Senator Marsha Blackburn.

NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) to help explore the nature of Dark Energy
Pasadena, CA – Scientists have discovered that a mysterious pressure dubbed "dark energy" makes up about 68% of the total energy content of the cosmos, but so far we don't know much more about it.
Exploring the nature of dark energy is one of the primary reasons NASA is building the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), a space telescope whose measurements will help illuminate the dark energy puzzle. With a better understanding of dark energy, we will have a better sense of the past and future evolution of the universe.

UCD To Hold "In-Person" Celebrations After Online Graduation Ceremonies
Posted On August 14, 2020 October 22, 2020 By Nessa Collins - Assistant News Editor
University College Dublin (UCD) will hold "in-person" celebration ceremonies for students whose degrees have been conferred virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an announcement by the UCD Students' Union (SU).
On Friday morning, the UCD SU reported that following a "productive meeting" between the SU and the President of UCD, Professor Andrew Deeks, UCD will organise physical graduation celebrations for students on campus. These events will be held in addition to the remote conferring ceremonies taking place later this year.
However, according to the SU, there is "no set time-frame" in which these ceremonies will occur; saying that the celebrations will take place "when it is safe to do so". The SU forewarned that these celebrations "could be as far off as next summer".
Speaking to the College Tribune, a number of students have displayed mixed reactions to UCD's plans to try to compensate for the cancelled in-person ceremonies.
One recent graduate of UCD welcomed the SU's announcement, saying – "I think it's a great idea and a good alternative with the situation at hand".
Meanwhile, Luke, a BA graduate, conveyed mixed views on the university's efforts concerning the organisation of graduations: "I would hope they would value our time at UCD enough to organise something in the future to return and celebrate accordingly as I feel like we put so much of our time into our degree and life at UCD … a virtual acknowledgement is not enough".
He expressed frustration at the university's decision to scrap in-person graduations in the first place, labelling the decision to cancel them as "disappointing".
"I think it's definitely disappointing knowing after all the years of hard work, we won't be able to celebrate it appropriately. As nice as having a grad option is virtually, for most it just won't have the same effect. I was hoping they would delay the real graduation until a safe time", he told the College Tribune.
Graduation ceremonies traditionally take place in O'Reilly Hall which, at full seating capacity, can cater to approximately 1000 people.
As it stands, current COVID-19 government guidelines permit gatherings of no more than 50 people indoors.
It remains unclear what these celebrations will compose of or how UCD plans to coordinate these ceremonies on campus, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding future COVID-19 public health advice.
The College Tribune attempted to contact the UCD Conferring Unit for further information but has not received anything at the time of publishing.

Q: How to JOIN tag_map in a normalized database Consider an standard normalized many-to-many tag system (three tables of articles, tags, tag_map). I want to get a list of tags with associated articles; for example
Tag    Article_IDs
tag1   1,5,7
tag2   3,4,5,7,8
.....

How should I JOIN the tables to generate this list?
The naive way to simply count the number of rows in tag_map WHERE tag='something'. Badly, for this method, we need a separate query for every tag. For example, to generate a list for 20 tags, we need 20 queries (which is not rational). I hope to do this is one query with JOIN.

A: You can acomplish this with group_concat aggregation function. They are a lot of samples in stackoverflow.
SELECT tag.id,
 GROUP_CONCAT(post.post_id)
 FROM
  posts
  inner join
  post_tag on ...
  inner join
  tags on ...
 GROUP BY tag.id;

A: Something like this should work (but this is Oracle only, I don't know the equivalent of wm_concat() on other databases):
select t.tagname, wm_concat(m.articleid) from tags t, tag_map m where t.id = m.tagid group by t.tagname;

A: Select t.Tag, Group_Concat(a.Article_ID)
From tag_map tm
Join tag t on tm.tag_id = t.tag_id
Join articles a on tm.article_id = a.article_id
Group By t.Tag

n the late 1930s, old Egyptiennes (or Italiennes) returned to the collective consciousness of European printers and type houses — perhaps because political news were front and center — especially in France where the Le Figaro newspaper was seeing record circulation numbers. In 1939 both Monotype and Lettergieterij Amsterdam thought of the same idea: Make a new typeface similar to the reverse stress slab shapes that make up the titles of newspapers like Le Figaro and Le Frondeur.
Both foundries intended to call their new type Figaro. Monotype finished theirs first, so they ended up with the name, and their type was already published when Stefan Schlesinger finished his take for the Amsterdam foundry. Schlesinger's type was renamed Hidalgo (Spanish for a lower nobleman, 'son of something') and published in 1940 as 'a very happy variation on an old motif'. Although it wasn't a commercial success at the time, it was well received and considered subtler and more refined than the similar types available, Figaro and Playbill. In the Second World War, the Germans banned the use of the type, and Hidalgo never really recovered.
Upon closer inspection, Schlesinger's work on Hidalgo was much more Euro-sophisticated and ahead of its time than the too-wooden cut of Figaro and the thick tightness of Playbill. It has a modern high contrast, a squarer skeleton, contour cuts that work similarly outside and inside, and airy and minimal solutions to the more complicated shapes like G, K, M, N, Q and W. It is also much more aware of, and more accommodating to, the picket-fence effect the thick top slabs create in setting.
Basilio (named after the singing teacher in Mozart's Figaro) is the digital revival and major expansion of Hidalgo. With nearly 600 glyphs, it boasts Pan-European language support (most Latin languages, as well as Cyrillic and Greek), and a few OpenType tricks that gel it all together to make a very useful design tool.
Stefan Schlesigner was born in Vienna in 1896. He moved to the Netherlands in 1925, where he worked for Van Houten's chocolate, Metz department store, printing firm Trio and many other clients. He died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz in 1944.


Bathroom renovation is one of the most popular and cost-effective tactics to renew your home. Remodeling a bathroom can seem daunting and expensive. A reliable bathroom remodeling contractor in your area is ready to bid competitively for your business. Large bathrooms must be broken down into wet and dry zones. The bathroom counter doesn't have to be boring. When it has to do with bathroom tiles, polished porcelain tiles certainly help increase the light in the toilet.
The fastest way to enhance and modernize your bathroom is to change your bathtub. The bathroom is currently trendy and functional. Marble is a great alternative to bathroom renovation. Bathrooms may be locations where you don't visit often.

Licensing Overview: What New Zealand's Financial Markets Authority Found And What Firms Need To Know
Common issues, hints for new applicants and a guide to the Financial Markets Authority's (FMA) future focus are included in a review of the regulator's first two and a half years of licensing.
The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMC Act) introduced a system of licensing and monitoring for the first time for many companies involved in New Zealand's financial markets. By December 2016, the transition to the new system was complete.
The FMA received a total of 253 licence applications under the FMC Act. In all, 201 licences were granted prior to 1 Dec 2016.
Many businesses provided well-considered applications, demonstrating they understood their on-going obligations and the new eligibility criteria, adjusting their businesses to get a licence.
Issues uncovered during licensing included a lack of understanding of the new regulatory requirements, a lack of formalised processes and some off-shore companies seeking a licence who didn't have genuine business activities in New Zealand.
The FMA also adjusted its processes as it gained experience, engaging more frequently with applicants and holding face-to-face meetings earlier. The FMA has adopted a flexible approach to assist different types of business models as they seek to meet the criteria for a licence.
Liam Mason, FMA Director of Regulation said: "Licensing must be a challenge so New Zealanders can be sure licensed firms meet the standards set by law. However, the process to get a licence should be as straightforward as possible and we have learned valuable lessons.
Our aim is to foster and encourage the collaborative relationships we have built with licensed companies through our monitoring and supervision work."

Previously Kolkata was one of the worst airports i've experienced but now it has a new terminal which is sufficient in size and clean. It is still not anywhere near to compete even IGI Delhi or Mumbai airport though. I appreciate the cleanliness. I would like to see more restaurants or food courts, and cleaner toilets. Presently there is one food court at the domestic departure, and couple of cafes at the international departure. No shopping plaza. Wifi is poor and only free for 30min, but you need to have an Indian phone number to connect. Staff are slow.
I used this airport twice over the last two weeks. Given the few international flights, the international section was uncrowded. Immigration was quick and hassle free. Security check too was smooth - no need to take off shoes or belts or jackets or pull out toiletries. The business class lounge is used by all the airlines and it is a quiet place with a buffet of Indian and Bengali foods and a tended bar. Limited number of shops and even limited number of eating places. There is a duty free liquor shop just after exiting customs and before exiting the airport with a good selection of whiskeys at prices markedly cheaper than in the city. All in all, a functional airport that is easy to use with only essential facilities.
Calcutta Airport has come up to speed in the recent years and it's about time too! I only used to fly into CCU because it was the closest International Airport to Orissa and cut my journey time by a day. However it was always a tiring and bothersome task fighting my way through the immigration and baggage handling policies they seemed to practice - slow slower and at one stage stop! Flying in wasn't too bad - on a good day I could be off the plane and in a taxi within the hour (depending on the carrier). However departing from CCU was a chore - Immigration then check your baggage tags to bags then Passport Control then a small tussle with Security and Baggage Check then finally the (what seemed like a mile) hike to the plane! However those days are gone if you fly in with BA - they insisted on a proper Gate being constructed and it is now up and running! Much to my delight it's just a hop and a skip to the plane and then you're on your way. Yes you still have to grapple with Security and Passport Control but the last three times I have flown into/out of CCU I have been spared the ordeal of searching for my bags and tallying them up with my ticket tags.
